So… I'm wondering if clarifying shampoo and crushed up vitamin C tablets would actually make permanent hair dye fade? Is it damaging?
I want to go lighter but don't want to go straight to bleaching.

I also have a question about lightening. This is my current color. I dyed it very dark brown in June and haven't touched it up since. My natural color is an ash dark blonde. Would bleaching it right now get it to a light blonde in one go? I want an ombre/balayage/whatever where my roots are left alone so it can grow out healthier.

>>103475When I destroyed my hair from bleaching and cutting wasn't an option, I focused on trying to create optimum conditions for it to grow out which worked:
1. If your hair is bad enough for it to be breaking off, it's probably hellfire dry so don't wash it for at a week. It made my hair look way better as it allowed my hair oils to get to the ends of my hair by brushing it from root to end daily. Also in general, don't wash it too much. Cornstarch is your best friend if the roots are too oily.
2. This Moroccan oil double pack was great:

3. Deep treatments improve the look of the hair. L'oreal professionel absolut repair lipidum is a really good product but it is a tad pricey.
3. (a) I saw this hack on YouTube where you put your straightener on low heat, wrap aluminium foil around it and "straighten" your hair with a treatment mask on it and it had a visible effect on my ends especially. (Here's a video:

4. As soon as your hair grows even if that shit is like 0.000000001cm CUT IT OFF otherwise the breakage will continue up the length of the hair.

>>103533Sorry I can't really help you with texture, I have the opposite problem(won't lay flat how I want it to, a bit too thick).Perhaps switching away from sulfates and silicone-enhanced conditioners would help. The cones in most conditioners are probably really weighing down your hair. I would recommend nixing that.
BUT one good way to get waves is to braid your hair when it is a little damp(not wet, too damaging). I have also had success with making rag curls and then combing through them, it looks fancier to me. But YMMV.
For the texture, if I were you I would visit a salon or even just a mid range place if youre on a budget.
Personally, I didn't believe the stylist a month ago when she said she could getmy hair to settle down. She did, because that's what pros are paid to do.

Have you tried lightening your eyebrows a bit? There are lightening kits for facial hair that I use for my eyebrows. Even if you do it too long, as long as you wear makeup you'll be able to make them a colour that works with your hair.

>>103470Yes, Olaplex is definitely the business anon (I assume you’re specifically asking about Step 3). For the best results, ignore the 10 minute suggestion on the back and saturate your dirty hair in it before bed. Then wrap it in plastic and a towel, and shampoo it out in the morning. It’s not a protein treatment so leaving on for an extended period isn’t going to cause harm.
Olaplex is what saved me a few years back when my hair was platinum (and for the subsequent following years when my hair was still super damaged and just covered up with brown dye).
This is my hair during both colors, using Olaplex every now and then, and investing in a high quality shampoo. Olaplex isn’t going to save your hair if your using shit shampoo/conditioner regularly btw.
>>103526Protein packs are absolutely NOT a the same. Olaplex helps remind the hair. This is not what protein does. Also, beware of over proteinizing your hair. If you leave it too long and it’s not what your hair needs, the protein will dry out and damage your hair and you’ll get a bunch of breakage.
>>103533First off, throw that head and shoulders into the trash. The amount of silicone in that shampoo is probably adding a crazy amount of weight to your (I’m assuming) fine and straight hair. It’ll be really hard to nicely style your hair until you strip the silicone out of your hair.
If you want something harsh to pull out the black dye in your hair, once a week wash your hair with Dawn dish soap and use a good (i.e. non-silicone) hair mask afterwards. The dawn will probably help strip the build up in your hair at the same time so it’s a win-win.
After you’ve switched to a sulfate free (your dyed hair needs the moisture) shampoo and silicone free conditioner, pick up a medium sized round blow dry brush and learn how to do a proper blow out. As long as the round brush isn’t too small, you should be able to use it on your bangs as well to give them a little shape without making them puffy and round. A little volumizing powder rubbed into your roots will go a LONG way to helping your hair appear more voluminous overall. They can be a little expensive, and there’s a slightly tacky/dry feeling on the scalp, but I find that a results override any temporary discomfort.
Sorry for hair sperging btw. I miss working at a salon lol.

My scalp has been flaky for a long ass time. I do not dye or heat style it. I tried dandruff shampoos which dried my skin out and caused more flakiness. I then thought it was fungal bc I was letting my hair air dry. So, I mixed a little tea tree oil in my shampoo and started to dry the roots with a blow dryer, which I thought worked, but alas, my scalp got flaky again a day or so later. I also use coconut oil once or twice per week to moisturize my hair and scalp.
I'm starting to think it's the minerals and whatever else in the water here. We have hard water in my region and I can feel the flakiness of the mineral deposits on my skin and scalp.
Has anyone dealt with this before? I will be buying a hard water filter for my shower head but that may take a few weeks. Please tell me my diagnosis is correct and it gets better anons!

Although I agree with the other anon that replied to you. As some really basic/general advice, Shea Moisture is a pretty decent budget line for thicker hair types.
If you can find it, Giovanni’s 2chic line is another budget friendly option that’s fairly good. I live overseas and found some in a “western hair care” import store. It’s not my first choice, but it’s definitely good enough to tide me over until I can pick up my regular stuff on my next trip home.

And I'm stuck with 3 because I bought 2 to get 1 free online. The last time I bought any was when I stocked up a year ago, so no chance of finding the old formula in a store to exchange.

Anybody have any experience with partial/hidden undercuts like in pic related?
I have medium length, curly/wavy hair that is super dense and thick. I love my natural hair texture but it is so thick and heavy that I have to tie it back 99% of the time so I don't overheat. It sucks because I look way cuter with my hair down but it's just so heavy and makes my neck so sweaty that I inevitably always give up and put it in a ponytail.
I feel like getting an undercut like this would help a lot - my hair wouldn't be so thick, heavy, and unmanageable, it'd be so much easier to wash and dry… plus the hairs there have a weird curl pattern and I wouldn't miss them at all if I were to shave them off. But I'm very anxious and not at all adventurous when it comes to doing anything to my hair so I'm hesitant. Any advice? Should I just bite the bullet?

The struggle for me is that while I look better with long hair, short hair (anything from a pixie to a buzzcut) is much more practical and comfortable. When I have long hair it's mostly in a ponytail anyway, and it's very fine and thin which means it gets oily and stringy within a day without proper washing.

The thing with short hair though is that it usually (imo at least) only looks good if you style it properly and you have to get it cut regularly or it gets to this this strange in-between length at which it looks terrible no matter what you do.
>>104848Funny thing: I‘m quite the opposite about the sex signal stuff.
Back when I cut my hair super short I was seeing a guy I was really into and we‘ve had this weird hot and cold relationship going on for a year (never officially dated or had sex, but we always would get super close and emotional and then not talk to each other for weeks). So after a long period of not talking to each other we finally were getting closer again but then when I got my hair cut he totally rejected me. Like, straight up told me he wasn’t attracted to me anymore because of it. Which is another huge reason why I‘m afraid to do it. I‘ll just think I won’t be attractive anymore.

Hey anons has anyone with super hyper oily hair noticed that your hair got better with bleaching?
My hair is just plain nasty, naturally so, went alot of times to the dermatologist, used expensive pharmacy shampoos, still have to wash it everyday or its impossible.
I tried not washing it as often to see if my scalp would calm down but still nothing.
I bleached it to a 9 to dye it soft pink and voilá, my hair was shiny, fluffy and i didn't have to wash it nearly as much. I guess since it was short my natural oils fixed the bleach damage very quick.

But it's a really good starting point to figure out how to tame hair with any kind of texture (I'm assuming your hair has some kind of curl/wave if it's super frizzy?). There's also a lot of good dirt cheap drugstore products available, at least if you're American. My conditioner is literally 78 cents and it works great, and my hair gel is like $3 for a huge bottle.
I'd definitely recommend not using terrycloth/regular towels to dry your hair, get a microfiber towel or just use an old cotton T shirt, and scrunch your hair to dry instead of rubbing it. One thing that also helped me a lot with my frizz was using a lot of conditioner, like WAY more than you think you'd need. My hair is super dry, though, so YMMV.

Some tips, I think the instructions say to use it for the full lenght of hair or something, but most girls use it for scalp only. This way it's more efficient. It's not anything special for hair but great for the scalp.
I use it every time I wash my hair (so around every 2-3 days), I damp my hair and scalp, massage the mask in, make a bun and leave it for like 5-10 mins, then just wash my hair like I normally would. So it doesn't require much effort and time which is great for lazy fucks like myself.

i know this is similar to a question that an anon asked previously, but i need some advice specifically for eczema and dry climates. i have eczema that i think has spread to my scalp and the fact i live in a very dry and cold environment means that my scalp is super flaky/scabby/itchy and i even have patches of blood in some areas because i've scratched so hard. i'm thinking of making an appointment with a doctor to get some advice, though last time i went they just gave me a prescription serum that didn't really help that much. anyway, i know that it's super gross, but i'm hoping that maybe one of you has had a similar experience and could give me some advice on how to treat it? i'm thinking of maybe switching to a gentler shampoo or something, but i don't know what would be a good brand.

>>105398I follow an altered version of it. Basically, I'm not no-poo.
But, the last time I got my hair cut at a salon, I went to one that specialized in curly hair and the stylist told me that I should avoid heavy oils, and I have 3b hair. Maybe for type 2 hair try finding something that's less oil-based.
What is your routine like? All these products shouldn't add hydration to your hair, but keep the moisture inside it. I really like the Love Ur Curls leave in conditioner because you're supposed to use it while your hair is soaking wet and it locks in that moisture. They're a Canadian brand (Toronto) and I think only available through their website
https://lusbrands.ca/I use:
OGX Quenching + Coconut Curls Shampoo
OGX Damage Remedy + Coconut Miracle Oil Conditioner (dye/soft bleach damage)
LUS All-in-One Curly Leave in Conditioner
DevaCurl Light Defining Gel
I put all this shit in whilst my hair is wet, scrunch out the excess water, wrap it up in a microfiber towel to keep it out of the way while I do my morning routine, then let it down and let it air dry. Hasn't failed me yet.

>>105610anon, not to be mean but it's an awkward haircut. Either cut the sides for a "total" pixie or cut the sides a bit while letting the fringe grow out, so you can do a "messy" voluminous short style. Then you could style it just by tousling the hair with product covered fingers.

Something textured and wavy is something I would consider "cool", though I don't think I used the right adjective. Instead, I meant something that is a bit low-maintenance, still looks good and has texture. This is probably contradictory, but that's the gist of it.

Is heat styling that bad? I have frizzy, mousy hair and I want non-frizzy, nice-looking hair. I used to straighten it, which made it easier to wear down, but it was really flat and I think that might look a little dated now. I stopped a couple years ago because I lost my straightener and have just been wearing it air-dried out of the shower and it ends up looking like google-pic related, or like the Princess Diaries girl before the makeover, but with a Lord Farquad-length bob.
Should I just get a new straightener? Does blow-drying help? I'd just like to look less sloppy.

>>106398I'm not sure if this happens to everyone, but from experience, I get so much shit for having curly hair, and it is a ton of work just for it to not cooperate or be styled as versatile as straight hair. I get pat on the head "Its so poofy!!" like I'm a dog. I get told how dry it is and how I should try some crazy method that worked for their already perfectly straight manageable hair. I get told how I should straighten it more often because the one day I didn't have time and wore it natural, I get shitted on. That it "looks like pubes". I just want straight hair so i can style it in pretty, low maintenance ways and not be ridiculed for something I was born with :( I don't delay my straightening treatments anymore. Once I see my hair growing out, I try to get it managed before its noticable and people start pointing it out. Plus its much easier to comb than if i were to go full natural.

Free and blend with the permanent straightened hair. I have not had issues with breakage and it’s one of the healthier permanent methods compared to a relaxer. It also gets much straighter than a relaxer would. It’s still important to keep the hair oiled though because in general curly hair needs it and you have breakage if you don’t keep the hair moisturized. The best thing about it is not having to flat iron it much or blow dry it at all because it stays straight. I just focus on the new growth in between touch ups.

>>107274This might sound like bad advice, but I'm being completely serious. What worked for me was buying the cheapest no brand shampoo/conditioner from the grocery store(I had given up lol). All that silicone in the products will coat your hair. Avoid heat if you can and air dry with rollers in.
My ends are fried af from bleaching + heat, so I hide it like that. Also a darker hair color really helps hiding damage

>>107274>>107484Olaplex treatment is as close to a gold standard as we can expect now. Its offered in salons and weaker versions are sold for home use. Protein treatments can also help but worth verifying with a hair stylist since in some cases it makes it worse. Avoid heat damage and overly hot water, look into leave in conditioners with UV protection for the hair (like Its a 10 brand).
If you think shampoo and conditioner might be an issue Indian hair washing herbs (shikakai, reetha, amla) are sold in powdered forms and might be an option to consider since they cleanse and condition without sulfates or silicones.

I need help.
I’m really bored with my hair. The thing is, I don’t know what to do with it.
I don’t have super thin and flimsy hair but it’s still kinda thin. I have quite a long face/forehead (or at least on most pictures it usually looks very long), so haircuts with much volume probably would suit me best, I guess? (Pic related is me btw)
I’ve had very short hair once and everyone told me how great it looked but idk I really don’t know how to style short hair and I also love long hair.
But then again I’d like to see what it’s like again. But as I said; don’t know how to style it for the death of me. (Also growing it out is genuine hell.)
On top of all of this, I have a sidecut growing out, which I can hide quite well though.
But anyways… any suggestions? Doesn’t matter which length. I’m open to anything tbh. I just want change.

>>108765Are your nails brittle or thin too? That could indicate an iron deficiency, you said your levels were normal, but some women lose more iron during their periods. If that’s not the case, you can also try taking biotin supplements and prenatal vitamins. I’d also recommend massaging jojoba, maracuja, or argan oil (research them all to see which would be the best fit for your hair type) to the scalp once a week for a month. Also if you’re using any chemical treatments like dyes or bleach, you should quit until your hair is in healthier state. I went through something similar and lost 1/4 of my hair about 4 months back, and I did a combination of all of this, including adding an iron supplement to my vitamin regimen. Since then, my shedding has been drastically reduced. Your best option is to see a doctor as excessive shedding is an indication of a number of health issues, but I have a shit gp too, so I hope this helps a little. When my hair was at its worst and thinnest, I also happened to be extremely stressed and a little malnourished, so remember that hair loss isn’t a stand-alone problem, it’s more likely a symptom, and you have to treat the root of the issue to see any real fix. Good luck anon!

>>110819I was blonde as a child and have blue eyes, so going blonde again suited me very well. My hair became more voluminous, straight (my natural hair is 2c-3a) and less oily. But when the roots showed up again, my scalp produced way more oil than before and my cowlicks/curls came back and made styling my hair harder. So it was either having my roots bleached every 4 weeks or looking like crap.
I kept the color for 4 years but the bad male attention (i couldn't go to a club without being hit on 5-10 times, no joke. Also a lot of those dudes were openly gross and creepy) and the upkeep made me go black again. It also ruined my hair completely to the point of having to cut it off entirely. It's been about 3 years and only now i have reached the length i had back then. I obviously don't regret anything, but it's a thing you have to keep in mind.

Ok ignore the shitty quality of the collage, pic collage is dumb, but I’m seriously so confused what to do with my hair.
My natural color is standard dirty blonde. I dyed it black, then rose to a super light blonde which totally fucked my hair up, and my hair dresser dyed it orange (????) even though I said I just wanted my dirty blonde hair back.
I want to dye it blonde again but I’m thinking I should just return to my normal hair color and let it grow back. I’m very pale and have green eyes. I have literally 0 idea what I want to do with my hair. Does anyone have any advice as to what would look better :( maybe a darker color again?? I’m worried because I’m seriously destroying my hair.

Just spent a while actually fucking crying because of the shitshow that is my hair, directly after a shower. My roots are always, literally always, permanently waxy and greasy as fuck. I wash them really well and have tried every shampoo under the sun, dont use conditioner much at all, dont use any heat or products ever. It doesn't matter how long or short of a time there is between washing my hair. I have tried tea tree oil, baby shampoo, apple cider vinegar, everything, multiple times. I want to just shave my damn retarded head but for once I have actually grown out my hair. It is so gross and horrible and really denting my confidence and I always feel horrible and greasy. I have had the problem before but never ever to this extent and never unfixable like this. It has coincidentally been like this since I started cerazette a few months ago.
Does anyone else have demon grease roots?? Sorry for the absolute a-log about my dumbass scalp but I'm honestly so pissed off at this dumb shit

First and foremost avoid products with the following ingredients.
Silicones(Dimethicone, Amodemithicone, etc.)
Acrylates
Polymers
Stearamidopropyl Dimethalymine
Polyquanterium-22
These ingredients are film formers that will make your greasy roots worse. Now as for treatment, you want to use something with Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfate or Salycilic Acid. These ingredients altough rather harsh will clarify your hair and cut the grease. Note that when using a product with Salycilic Acid make sure Sodium Hydroxide is not in the ingredients. Sodium Hydroxide is ingredient used as a ph balancer, however when used in tandem with Salycilic Acid it can be too strong and denature the hair shaft(I.E. you will lose hair). Also note if you opt to use a shampoo with Salycilic Acid make sure it is not too high in the ingredients list.
One last ingredient that you may or may not want to look out for is Glycerin. Glycerin is a humecrant that better allows your hair to absorb moisture. However I've found it to be an ingredient that some people (uknowingly) don't react well to. In some cases I've seen it be the cause the phebomena of greasy roots but frizzy ends. I should note that whether your hair may like this ingredient or not, it's best to avoid using it if there is dry weather.
If you want to opt for a more natural remedy look for something with citrus or peppermjnt oil. However be careful as these ingredients can be very astringent to some people with sensitivities. Though I have seen people use them to great success, please use them at your own discretion.
If anyone has any particular questions or wants any product recommendations feel free to reply. Just beforehand please state your:
hair type (curly,striaght, kinky etc.)
density (thick, medium, fine)
Scalp type(dry, oily, sensitive)
and lastly please answer the following: "how long does it take for your hair to get fully wet?"

>>112218Maybe you can try salicylic acid products meant for acne directly on dry scalp or hair? Paula's Choice makes a great salicylic acid liquid meant for the face as does The Ordinary. Though meant for acne perhaps they might work on your scalp.
Also maybe some sort of hormonal imbalance might be making you greasy. You could look into birth control or spirinolactone or spearmint tea/capsules.

My hair is driving me mad. It used to be so nice and silky that I never even used conditioner. The ony problem I had was just a very sensitive scalp (it would get really itchy and dry even just by changing the water I used to wash from my house's to my grandma's house's), but I solved that by just using medicated shampoo for a while.
Now, my hair is a nice deep brown color but I decided to go blonde last summer, and this was the worst idea I've ever had. After going blonde my hair became dry af and every time i shampooed it it would just crumple up and tangle just like hay.I was mad af that I ruined my hair so i decided to go back to my natural color and slowly cut off the most damaged part of my hair. I also started using conditioner, hair masks and clarifying shampoo but I still find myself with super tangled hair (unmanageable without the conditioner). I try to let it dry naturally as many times as possible but once is dry my ends are still incredibly dry while my roots are oily af. WillI ever get my beautiful silky hair back or I damaged them fo life?
(I have thick and wavy hary and a crazy sensitive and dry scalp btw)

>>112254Going by how you described your hair I would recommend maybe try Dp Hue's Cool Blonde conditioner to mend your hair. It is a conditioner for blondes however it is a very gentle and lightest. It's free from heavy oils and silicones, and most common irritants. Although pricey it is available at Ulta, which has a very good return policy. By the way I understand you are no longer blonde, but from my experience I found this conditioner to help me when I was recovering from a bad hair job.
Another one I would highly recommend if you want to try to give your hair a truly deep condition would be, Clean Kids Bannana Conditioner by Gabriel Cosmetics. It is a natural and simple conditioner/detangler, one which I would recommend to anyone dealing with tangled or dry hair. Mind you though, it contains sea kelp which can be an irritant to those with VERY sensitive scalps. Depending on your level sensitivity you can decide whether or not to give it a try. Should you decide to try it out I'd suggest using it sparingly at first as it is VERY mousturizing. This conditioner I find so powerful you can even pair it with a a basic shampoo.
Now regarding shampoo's depending on the severity of the damage to your hair, I would recommend Klorane's Desert Date Shampoo. It's fairly gentle and moisturizing, it contains olive oil and wheat protein which should help with any damage your hair may have suffered. Be careful pairing this with the banana conditioner as it may cause your hair to frizz due to protein overload.
Another shampoo you can possibly try is Dp Hue's cool blonde shampoo. They seem to have recently reforomulated it to include silk extract and amino acids, which can help mend your hair. Before I wouldn't reccommend it as it tended to cause build up and frizz in my thick hair due to the acrylates copolymer it contained. However now it no longer contains the ingredient and from the looks of things it seems gentler. It is up to you if you want to take a gamble.
One last thing to note is that both Dp Hue products contian acid violet 43 which is considered to be a skin irritant(in high doses) by the FDA. I personally have a sensitive scalp and used the conditioner with no negative effects, but these things vary from person to person so just keep this in mind.

>>112539what kind of research have you done, what kind of curls are you aiming for, and what is you hair type like? its quite difficult to give advice without knowing these.
styling products arent really neccessary, but the hairstyle will last a lot longer with them, as you can see with the volume issues. however with these you should try using a more minimal amount if it makes your hair feel gross. if you havent tried it yet, what i could recommend is using setting lotion, ive personally found it could help with the volume problem, if you have more dry hair maybe you could also get a leave in conditioner for your hair type, ive personally found that well moisturised hair has more volume and hold the volume better too, but this is mainly because i have dry hair. try to figure out your exact hair type, and try to seek advice from people with a similar hair type to you, a forum dedicated to hair care would probably be the best for that.
as for the rollers themselves, i would look at advice and setting patterns from a few decades ago, e.g. from the 1940s-80, when using rollers was extremely common. but this depends on exactly what kind of hairstyle you want. this could help the curls look more uniform.

If you want your hair to look like that, put it dry, no heat, no product, over plastic curling rods (I use perm rods, or you can tie with rags, anything will do) for a couple of hours and then take it out. Wrap the hair over the curling rod from top to bottom, so you don't get tightly curled ends.
The curl should drop out into a slight wave like that after about 20 minutes. Don't brush through but you can separate the waves.

Ok I don't know if everyone is familiar with the hair typing system that is used by various cosmetic companies where I live, but when I was younger, like, until the age of 15, my hairtype was 2A, had a vivid light brown color, and reached past my waist. I cut it past shoulders and little by little I noticed that the color was no longer that vivid anymore, and I dyed it black (kinda wanted for a long time to have black hair).
I don't know if it was the dye, but it started to become curlier, even more when I cut it again shoulder lenght. Now it is reaching my waist again, but became 2B hairtype. I still dye it black, and the most I take care of my hair, the curlier it gets (except in the roots, 2B characteristics), but even if I find it cute, I don't recognize myself in curly hair, I wish it could change back to 2A.
I think I can't use a dangerous chemical process to straighten it because of the dye. Does anyone know if there is a way to make the curls more open or to get it back to 2A?

But never sleep or tie your hair wetHope this helps.

>>115552Make sure you do a wet set, and use a strong sculpting foam. I like Paul Mitchell's. Use a decent amount, combed through wet hair.
The main thing is doing your curls off-base to get that big volume.
For a beginner, it's my opinion this would be much easier and less time consuming to achieve through roller wet-sets than stand-up pin-curls - it's not easy to get good results with pin-curls for beginners, esp. when they're still getting the hang of rolling up a whole style.
Here's a really useful tutorial!
I would also add - a lot of these looks are more about how you sculpt the hair once it's set, than about using a specific rolling method. The main thing is that it's wet-set.

Nice blonde hair, unless platinum, needs dimension, imo. One color blonde hair is usually trashy looking, imo. I know you guys will complain, but imo, if you're going blonde, lowlights and highlights are a must, or even just slight variance in tones throughout is a must. It doesn't look right otherwise unless you're going platinum.

If you already have a big forehead, you have to be careful because it can make you look out of proportion, so it would be better to start your bangs more forward.

>>115998I wouldn't recommend extensions since you can see them through thin hair very well. Also no long hair because your hair will look stringy.
Now it depends on your face shape and style which length suits you best. If you have an oval face and a cool style, then short hair à la Ruby Rose would be great for you. Otherwise try shoulder-length hair with side-swept bangs since they don't need too much hair like full straight bangs. You should always give your hair some texture and volume. Backcomb your hair at the roots and use some dry shampoo because fine hair tends to look stringy and some hairspray to fix everything. You could either use a curling iron or braid your hair when it's still moist before you go to bed.

Hi all, I currently have hair like the pic attached. My hair is really fine and flat.
I want to keep it short but want to try bangs. I have a longer (oblong) face with defined cheekbones, big eyes and my face is very proportionate imo. My nose is has a dorsal hump from the side but looks fine from the front. My closest celebrity look alike is Emma Roberts with brown hair.
When I posted a picture of myself on reddit, I got told that bangs would be overwhelming for my "pretty features." Someone else suggested baby bangs, which no way in hell am I going to do. Now I'm kind of lost with what I should do.
With all of the info I've given, could I go for bangs or would I be better off avoiding them?

>>112870I started going grey in my early-20s, I'm not even 30 yet and even my eyebrows/eyelashes are going grey. I've been really stressed/have chronic anxiety so I'm not surprised, my parents and brother also went grey before 30. this is the year I've decided to finally grow it out and rock salt and pepper.
apparently it takes a full year to grow most of it out, has any more silver fox anons gone through actually embracing greys? how did you style it in the meantime? anywhere I looked says use like powder touch-up for roots but I'm thinking I might just say fuck it and look like full blown aids for 12 months.

>>116170Be glad you don't have thin limp hair like Kooters has! I think voluminous hair is the best thing you could have with a face shape like Dakota. She has a bit of a chubby face that looks unbalanced with thin hair. I have a similar face shape (in particular a wider, kind of meaty jaw) and I've found that bangs swept to the side and thick "side pieces" of hair framing the face and reaching shoulder length look the best. I have long, very thick hair that's a little wavy. Updos work for me but only if I keep some hair hanging down the sides of my face.
Tried to find example pics but couldn't find any good ones and not sure if I feel comfortable posting myself on here.

>>116432definitely this brand, it's miles better than batiste. I usually use the root-lifting version of this but this one is for oily hair, it's the one brand I can find that actually smells good and is relatively weightless. it's hard to go overboard with it, maybe try the clay one (pic related) or the root lifting one. Brad Mondo did a dry shampoo comparison video recently which actually was pretty helpful (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPa-IoZhTRU), shame he didn't showcase the loreal brand because it's pretty underrated imo. everyone just puts up with batiste but there's better shit out there.
if you're an aussie anon woolies sometimes even has better shit than priceline when it comes to dry shampoo so maybe keep an eye out and try the travel sizes (usually $4-$5 instead of $12-$16) until you find one you like. took me forever.
I have super oily thin hair but a shitload of it so I live for dry shampoo. keep us updated if you find a good one!

>>108765It’s me again, the other week I had a really good hair day, wish I took a picture of it. I basically had a hime cut with beach waves at the ends of my hair at the back from twisting it in a bun after washing to air dry, and by some luck my bangs and sides fell perfectly when many times it won’t frame my face when one side bends the wrong way or whatever.
But I think I know what’s causing my hair loss, it has to be the antidepressants I’m taking (sertraline). It’s listed as a rare side effect on the leaflet but since every antidepressant comes with such a long list of things that I wrote it off as them trying to cover their bases and forgot about it. I thought it was directly because of the event that led me to asking for my meds back but now I’m sure it’s the sertraline itself because I stopped taking them for a while last year. Inoticed the shedding stopped several months afterwards, then I went back on the meds this year. Now after 2 months I’m slowly shedding more again.
So if there’s any anons who take medication and notice problems with hair loss/texture but your hormone/iron levels/family history are fine, consider this. It feels like a choice between my mental health and my hair (though I’m doing better these days) but it’s actually a relief to pinpoint a cause instead of dealing with it, thinking it’s something wrong with
you for unlucky genetics or ‘aging’ (I’m 21 fffs).
Anyway, on a lighter note:
> No poo is working for me, I went from washing every day to every 4-5 days and my hair seems less oily.And how does anyone deal with frizz that’s from the hair texture itself? Mine is undamaged but it’s like 80% is razor straight or with a very slight wave and the other 20% is wiry and curly like my mother’s.

>>116810>>116823>>116844I really love mine, I think it helps with volume of your hair if you style it right. I think the most important thing about having a cow's lick is to keep your hair long, as if it gets too short the follicles don't have any weight to stop it flipping straight up like an anime character's. If you're careful/inventive with parting the hair (around the directions of the licks) and part it loosely while wet and allow for it to air dry with some volume, the natural height can help to give your hair body. Don't try to comb them down but accept that's how your hair grows.

Aight so I'm looking for a sulfate, coconut, and silicone free shampoo. I have fine hair that has a little bit of bend to it. Volume isn't a natural issue for me bc I have a lot of hair despite the fine-ness. I do get some shitty waxy buildup that I have to use clarifying shampoo on sometimes but not sure if that's my current shampoo or the water.
Currently using pic-related and I like it well enough but it seems to trigger fungal acne so looking for a new alternative. The coconut in it is the culprit I guess.

My hair is thin so oil shows up easily, but it seems like I only get oily at my roots and the rest of my hair is a bit dry. I'm prone to split ends too.

I think the reality is you can't really help split ends once they start but you can help breakage by conditioning/nourishing the hair with moisture and vitamins and minerals and proteins it needs. I've heard oral supplements could help, besides treating the hair.

Does anyone here have brand recommendations for peach hair dye? Almost every tutorial I see for this color, it turns out too neon, bright, too orange, or too pink. I really want something that's equally pink and orange and lighter. Idk, maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing by calling it "peach."
No. 118131
>>118130I think with most hair dyes, it really depends on your base. I have blonde virgin hair that I have dyed with Manic Panic dyes before and it turned out quite neutral back when I was in highschool.
Best tips I could give you, make sure your base isnt an orange or yellow blonde. Use purple shampoo religiously, make sure that the orange/peach isnt being oversaturated by being on top of a yellow base. Then secondly, especially the third image, looks like it has been washed out alreaday. Sixth image looks like freshly dyed with pink roots?
Only person I know that has hair like this is Marzia, PewDiePies girlfriend.

>>118131Thanks for all the advice, anon! Half of my hair is currently that gross, brassy brown from being dyed dark brown a long time ago and not touched since, and the other half is my natural ash, light mousey blonde. I definitely don't want peach with pink roots, but I thought the peach color on the ends was pretty nice. Maybe I just like it in comparison with how bright and pink those roots are? Anyway, do you think I could buy two dyes, a pink and an orange, and mix them with conditioner to get the result I want?
Shit, this is going to turn into a huge paragraph. I should probably explain that I want to bleach my hair and then tone it back to something close to my natural root color. THEN put peach dye on top of that so I can keep my upkeep minimal (just some colored dye on my roots instead of having to bleach first.)

how long does hair color typically last on your brows when you dye them to match your hair? i'm planning to go red similar to pic related but i have very black hair naturally, and unfortunately also the eyebrows to go with it. i'm not worried about bleaching and then dyeing my brows, more so about whether or not it'll look ridiculous when the black hair shows through. will it be something i'll have to touch up constantly?

What I think looks good, and will not look jarring with dark eyebrows (yes they do grow back super quick) is if you leave the roots and brows dark, and only lighten the lengths and ends. Then also go for a more obviously ruby red rather than a natural auburn.

>>121118Go for a down-to-earth brown on your brows instead of matching the light hair color. Your dark hairs will look like shit poking through the bleached ones but brown will blend more gracefully.
For actual head-hair color I'd actually recommend a warm brown that is lighter than your natural color but isn't gonna require your hair to be lifted all the way to blonde.

There’s no way I can find the specific pictures but I’m talking about pic related. It sounds racist but the flat head thing seems kind of true… one day I saw my profile in the mirror and it mortified me learning the back of my head was like that, wondered if I was deformed but I looked at my family and they had the same sort of shape. Sometimes I think "would this bother me" if I didn’t live in a world where I’m surrounded by pictures of pretty people/models/celebs/etc who happen to all be Euro or American (i.e white) but I doubt the feature would be attractive regardless of race,
but what if a race happens to have features no one finds attractive? It’s impossible to tell. I sure as fuck wouldn’t go as far as to get surgery to ‘fix’ my skull though. Sage’d.

I posted earlier about having thick, coarse, slightly wavy hair with a lot of frizz that was impossible to style and asked for advice. All my life people were advising mousses and gels and they always made my hair gunky, limp and greasy. I always used products for fine hair, wondering why they worked.
Well… I seem to just have low porosity hair. I heard about it from a hairdresser before but didn't know what it actually means. She would always advise me to wash my hair twice and clarify it and I just thought she didn't know what she was talking about because everyone on the internet keeps saying sulfates are bad and washing once is plenty.
Nope, it was I who was the dumbass all along. I just did it yesterday and my hair is so soft and completely frizz-free. Just letting any anons know if they're struggling with the same problems, check your hair porosity. It matters a lot, hair thickness matters less than you think.

So I’m still down this rabbit hole, pattern balding for both sexes works by follicles being more sensitive to DHT (something testosterone is converted into) and that makes your hairs smaller and finer until it stops growing entirely. Minoxodil (rogaine) only stimulates growth so I want to take it with a DHT blocker, but those all come with their own side effects, which are manageable but are apparently a bitch to get a hold of if you’re a woman because they’re not safe for pregnancy and they’re mostly for male related problems (less data on if it’s safe for women so they’re wary about giving it). As for why I’m even losing hair anyway, I looked that up and realised I might have a very stealthy PCOS and I’m not just unlucky. Fun times ahead.

>>122848Ntayrt but I'm suffering from hair loss myself for a long time, although I'm about your age.
My thick, shiny hair is now gone and what's left is only a tiny, frizzy bundle.
In my case it's most likely genetic; it's quite rare but it can happen (when you're extra lucky like me).
Like the others said, you should definitely get some tests done but sadly not all doctors know much about pcos so look for a good one.
Whether it's pcos related or not, there's still not much you can do about androgentic alopecia sadly. Therefore, I really really hope yours is only temporary and that you don't have to go through what I've been going through so far.

Every time I mentioned something she shut me down, this is how the appointment went:
>repeatedly told me "there is no cause for your hair loss">every time I bring a concern up like PCOS in relation to the hair, "oh yes, that was tested for in your blood test. Your results are normal and you don't have _". Every problem was shut down using my results even though you can't rule it out on normal numbers alone.>talked about acanthosis nigricans (as a sign of insulin resistance from PCOS), she told me, "yours is very light, do you shave?" (yes but only the past couple of years) "its due to shaving making the skin thicker".>repeatedly told me "minoxodil is not right for your type of hair loss" (how can she know this, if it's not been diagnosed?) and "minoxodil is not licensed" and something about a prescription. Then how can I walk into fucking Boots and buy some Rogaine or order it online without one?>I bring up hair miniaturisation, my hairs are definitely coming out shorter and thinner every time. She tells me "that's regeneration, a sign it's growing back". Yeah I know it's growing back, the problem is it's growing back worse and will eventually stop, ffs>"there is no point in referring you to a specialist because they will tell you the same thing, there is no cause for your hair loss"I was so mad yet anxious to avoid confrontation so my mind went fucking blank and I wasn't able to challenge her shitty points. Am I being crazy or something?

This may be a weird desire to have, but I'm really into 80s big hair. However, I hate the work for it and feel like my hair goes flat easily even when I do it. I absolutely adore Kate Bush's hair in pics like pic related and I actually look quite a bit like her, so I think it would suit me, what would I need to do to get hair like this?

Make sure to be gentle while braiding though, since your hair is more vulnerable to breakage when it's wet.

It looked very natural. Much more natural than clip ins, because it lays flat on your head. It can get a little sweaty in the summer, but mostly just because your hair will be very thick - it's no different than real thick hair.
A lot of up dos are possible, just takes some practice to get right.

Chamomile doesn't really lighten hair, but it does give it sort of a golden sheen if your hair is light enough to show it. Honey on the other hand does lighten hair, especially combined with certain spices like cinnamon. What's lightening hair in the honey method is literally hydrogen peroxide (aka bleach) except its an extremely ineffective garbage amount that will have you redoing the sticky shit over and over with barely a result.
Just get vol10 developer and bleach, lightly work some oil into your hair beforehand, and keep it on for a few minutes and you'll lift your hair better than 15 applications of honey and it won't really fuck up your hair. Honey is bullshit in comparison and it's
messy.
Also people claim vol10 developer "doesn't lift hair and is only to deposit color" but they're incorrect.

>>123993Every time you wash your hair absolutely slather the ends with leave-in conditioner and a light hold gel. I try to not wash my hair as long as I can stand it, as the oils help disguise the frizz. It's going to feel disgusting but such is life with frizzy hair. Usually, people will advise you against brushing your hair when it's wet but this actually helps form the curls as long as you're not yanking on it. Yeah, but with the gel+leave in you should be able to get away with just air drying it.

I've tried everything for my hair for years. (For reference, it looks like the before picture, often worse) It looks dry, but when I pull a strand it stretches and bounces without breaking, so I'm not even sure if it's even lacking moisture. Recently I went to a hairdresser that basically told me that's just the texture of my hair and I can't really do anything about it. At best I can smooth it out a little with something oily. (whenever I do that it works for a little bit but returns to a frizzy mess gradually over minutes)
Is that possible? I've never read this or had a hairdresser tell me before (granted they're always selling me leave in masks and shampoo's and crap for dry hair that do jackshit) so I need to know if I'm just doomed with straw hair or not.

It's not as simple as putting it on like a hat and automatically having all of your hair dreams come true.
Maybe try on a cheap wig first and wear it around the house everyday to see how you like it, before making a big investment.

Healthy curly hair will 'remember' it's natural curl pattern, but the drying and harsh ingredients in most generic hair products leaves curly hair anything but healthy.
Enter the CG method where all the drying ingredients of generic hair products are removed, add proper hydration (rather than coating the strands in siliconen) and proper hair styling so the curl doesn't loosen before it dries and there's naturally curly hair.
Naturally sleek hair can't be made curly with the CG method, just that should proof to you that any girl with curly hair using the CG method has naturally curly hair.

So, my hair has been falling out for the last month. I’m 23 years old. I have reason to believe it’s telogen effluvium induced by significant emotional and financial stress about 2-3+ months ago + an unhealthy diet. I went to my GP for an unrelated issue 2 weeks ago, mentioned the hair, and they just said it’s probably stress.
I went on a vacation, had a very nice and relaxing time. I’m starting an ashwaganda supplement, hair skin & nails vitamin, and tumeric. I’m getting my diet back into healthy routine, and I bought a hair regrowth oil.
Is there anything else I can do besides just wait? How long is this supposed to last? I feel like the hair loss is making me more stressed, which is just prolonging how long it’ll be falling out for.
Pic related is gross but that’s how much hair came out after just brushing through the layers with a boar bristle brush. Losing that much (plus about that much when I shampoo) daily has me paranoid that I’m going to be bald soon. Any recommendations or words of encouragement would be really appreciated lol

If it makes you feel better, after months of washing out clumps of hair in the shower, I (somehow) didn't go bald.
It sounds like you're being proactive in taking care of your health, so that's a great step. Hair skin & nails vitamins with a good diet are helpful and also made my nails less brittle. I hope things get better and you're able to get back to the doctor soon for a proper diagnosis!

I think her bangs are fine, it's the rest of the hair that's a mess (it looks wet or greasy, I can't tell tbh). I think everyone's hair would look so much better, even afro texture, if one would just wash their hair every other day without making up excuses that their hair is too alien to be cleansed.

I’ve been growing my hair out ever since I chopped off like 8 inches of bleach damage about a year and a half ago. Now it’s at the length I wanted but recently I’ve really been wanting some big, curly 80’s hair like Winona Ryder. It wouldn’t be the biggest change, a few inches off, but I get really anxious over my hair. Also I’m not sure if this would be more of a cool vintage look or just super dated.

Any recommendations on a good toner to achieve a cool-toned rose blond color?
Currently I’m mixing my hair mask with a pea-sized dollop of this
https://m.hagel-shop.de/alter-ego-passion-color-mask-amarena-50-ml.html and 1-2 drops of gentian violet and I really like the results but it washes out fast, so I’m looking for something more long-lasting.
For reference, I have level 9 neutral blonde hair.

No. 129071
>>129068This looks like dyed hair, the roots look sparse because when blondes dye their hair they look like they're balding.

No. 129090
>>129086You should get your thyroid and hormones checked and also get checked for pcos, those can cause hair loss and hair thinning.
Also I agree with the other anon that you should get supplements.
Also i think the reason why it's frizzy might be because your hair might be too thin and prone to breakage. When a hair fibre breaks it becomes crazy frizzy.
So you know the drill, comb it only with your fingers or a wide tooth comb, dry it with a cotton t shirt instead of a towel, use a silk cap or silk pillowcase at night, etc. Try to protect it from anything that could be causing breakage.

I have a stupid question but go easy on me because I don't know the in and outs of coloring hair.
I have virgin (level 6) hair and on a whim I decided to try Marion Color Shampoo which is just direct hair color without ammonia or peroxide. It should last 4-8 washes. I was hoping to make my hair auburn for a couple of days but all it did was make my color a little deeper and warmer since this was a red dye.
Now my question is - is my hair still considered virgin and untreated since there was no color lifting or color penetration? Because I've been fantasizing about getting pink hair soon which would require me to bleach my hair. If there's still residue of this color shampoo will it make the bleaching process more troublesome or does in not matter since it's just a surface color? It should be long gone by the time I get around to fulfilling my plans but I just want to know if I accidentally my whole hair for nothing.

I fucked up and dyed my virgin hair black back in early Nov and immediately regretted it. I used Ion and it came with 20 volume developer that I feel like straightened out my curl pattern and now I have to put in work to get it like the first pic when I'd just rolled out of bed like that before. Not only that, but I miss the depth my natural hair had.
Should I just go get the color stripped? I just don't know if it'll damage my hair and I've gotten mixed yes or nos from friends. One of them is a hairdresser and he said he'd strip it for me at his house because it's cheaper than me going to his salon.

So my hair is collarbone length and naturally wavy (maybe somewhere between a 2A/B if it matters) and I stopped straightening it daily a while back, but recently I've been getting back into wearing it straight since it suits me much more and is so much easier to manage than my natural texture. I don't own a straightener anymore and decided to buy one of these Revlon brush blow dryers instead.
So far I'm really pleased with it, I normally would never touch a blow dryer with a 10 ft pole since they make my hair so frizzy but this makes my hair so nice and smooth.
My only problem is that I can never get the ends of my hair to behave. They ALWAYS flip either in or outwards and it looks ridiculously stupid especially when the rest of my hair is so straight. No matter how many times I go over my ends with the blow dryer they always curl out, and not in a nice soft salon blowout way. I've tried a bunch of different techniques and ways of moving/holding the blow dryer, but all it does is curl the ends in a different direction. It's really frustrating especially since I've watched a million YouTube videos of people using the same blow dryer and even girls with way curlier hair than mine can get their ends much straighter using just this blow dryer. I'm not great at using hair tools so can any anons please help my clueless ass. What is this witchcraft that I'm not understanding?
No. 130845
>>130811you could try wet setting it overnight, with soft rollers. it takes some trial and error to place them so you get the style you want, but it's pretty effective.

hello my lovely fellow hags, i have come to asketh for some hair advice here since i'm too anxious to talk to a hairdresser yet.
my natural hair was golden blonde when i was younger, but i started dyeing my hair around the same time i hit puberty and all the way until my 20s. for the past 4 years i have been growing out my natural hair and have not used any products or heat styling or dyeing or anything really besides dry/straighten when i get it cut. the natural colour changed (obviously and i know that's normal) but i am wanting to go blonde again since this is probably the best condition i can get my hair in (i know it's still not great but it's summer where i live so bitch is frizzy).
would you anons have any idea what a good shade/level of blonde i could go without causing too much damage on my hair? i know about the 3 level rule but i'm not even sure what level my hair falls under in the first place ?
for reference my skin is peachy olive colour.

I feel exactly like you. It feels like I'm completely losing my myself, especially as a woman. And there's absolutely no hope for me; I just won the shitty genetics lottery by starting to lose hair at 17 and it gets worse day by day.
I have to shave my head soon I think and just the idea of doing that is horrifying since I used to have beautiful full hair (similar to pic). I know some women find it empowering to shave their head but I absolutely don't, and that's not a thing women do where I live.
I've become really paranoid and seeing how everyone makes fun of bald people (including my friends)makes me wanna die. I don't know how I'll survive college. I'm embarrassed to death.
I wish you the best, really…

my hair is a shitshow right now. due to being an irresponsible idiot, I messed up my natural dirty blonde color by using multiple different brands of blonde box dye in an attempt to go lighter. I somehow always failed to dye the underside and backs of my hair, so the top layers are a very light golden blonde and the underside and back is a mix of golden blonde and mousy dirty blonde. I've been trying to stop dying it but now my roots are growing in and is a clearly different shade than the other parts of my hair. I'm also a super broke college student, so I haven't been able to afford color correction at a salon. BUT im so excited now because a very high end salon in the city near me needed color correction models for a new trainee, and it's only going to be 15 dollars for what would usually be like at least 500+ at this salon. I'm gonna ask for a root fade so I don't have to keep dying it, and they're going to blend the colors all together so it's not a patchy mess. I'm so excited!!!! I'm also getting my hair cut after months, I'm gonna go with a side swept bangs, and but try to keep the length a couple inches longer than this photo.

>>133804Don't worry about frying your bangs because you have to trim them so frequently anyway, like once a month.

Nah, jk, but seriously, you should be fine. People have gone longer without trims and survived. If you feel like your ends are split and gross and need a trim, do it, but if your hair looks and feels fine, who cares how long it's been? Everyone's hair is different anyway, and especially if you don't bleach and/or use heat, you could probably go longer without trims.

Alright, be straight with me fam. For approx 10 years I’ve dyed my hair black and then very dark brown for the last years. On and off I’ve attempted to achieve this cool lighter brown but every time i do this has been the outcome: use color remover > turn orangey brown red > bleach it > yellow > color with desired cool brown dye > it turns way too dark OR the color fades into shitty dark red brown mess after a week.
Idk, I’ve asked several hairdressers and they either say it’s impossible or they can lighten it but it will remain in the reddish brown family. Should I give up?

So I have a problem with having very thin hair, especially on the front and I'm convinced that one of the reasons for that is the fact that I'm washing my hair every single day and I've been doing it for years. I can't even grow out my hair too much, because then I have way less longer hairs than shorter ones and it obviously looks ridiculous.
Does anyone know whether washing my hair less frequently would help eventually?

>>134868It might look cuter if you leave the bangs down but do a half-up, half down ponytail on top, getting the hair on the side of your face up in the ponytail so it’s not so blunt all around your face, maybe something like this but pulling your hair up and leaving a few pieces around the bangs. Just a temporary fix until it grows out more and you can get it recut, the bangs look really cute though!

>>135228Damage does create more damage, to an extent. I think people trying to myth bust this just seem to be stuck on the idea (which you arent actually saying) that it doesn't help the SPEED at which hair grows. But, for example, very damaged hair tangles super easily, which creates more damage. If you baby it a lot you might not create a lot of further damage, but is it worth preserving hay?
I have hair to my hips rn and I started out by chopping all the fried hair to a lob. I don't regret it at all it looked gross, felt gross and was fried anyway, and that's coming from someone who seriously hates having short hair.
The real way forward is just to stop damaging it though, obviously.
No. 135282
>>134820I've been in the same boat as you and I would caution against minoxidil. it will typically cause a significant shed before it starts working and then you have to use it forever to keep any hair that you grow from it. I've used it before and I've had better results from just leaving my hair alone.
Try washing it every other day, don't use heat (learn some heatless styles/loose up-dos), stop coloring it, get a silk pillow case and keep up with regular trims. It sucks at first but after you do it for a few months you start to see a big difference in your hair.

How do I get my hair to curl neatly? I have pretty short hair right now, it curls medium to large curls naturally, but I have no idea how to make the curls look good. They look smooth at the top but fray out at the ends. If I brush them out my hair looks flat and if I use any oils or mousse it looks too oily. I want to get curls like pic related, where they just look smooth and neat.

i need help pls
to start i have relatively fine hair but a lot of it. i sleep on silk pillowcases, use heat maybe once a month, brush my hair as if it were my dying mothers, and use hair sticks to tie my hair up.
my problem is i have a lot broken hairs along my part. they are an inch or shorter and stick straight up. my hair seems to be sensitive to uv rays so i use a chi full defense cream to protect it but somehow there is still breakage.
can you guys help me find out where the hell this damage is coming from? it's completely escaping me and driving me crazy. how to fix it also would be greatly appreciated
No. 136363
>>136356Grey/silver is the worst to upkeep imo. It very, very easily becomes green or blue and quickly looks faded. Even fixing it with purple shampoo is quite tricky from my experience as it becomes blue-ish way more easily than blonde.
And I personally find darker greys even harder to achieve. Almost-white grey/silver is hard already but it’s basically just frying your hair to death and tone it properly.
With dark greys it’s hella tricky to get it light enough for the grey to be visable, but it also needs to be neutral enough to not be an actual color.
I’ve used Pravana Vivids and Maria Nila but it always ended up being blue.

I have dyed, thick-ish hair and it's so frizzy and dry, kind of like pic related. I also have had a lot of dandruff and an itchy scalp lately. I'm pretty much an overall fucking dry person, with dry skin, dry hair and a dry scalp.
Since I've stopped using products that contain silicone, my hair has gotten even drier and it just looks sad. I've tried a lot of different products, nothing seems to work. I try not to wash my hair every day but I can't go longer than 1-3 days without washing it (usually every other day).
I'm at my wit's end, probably am just gonna cut it all off soon if I don't come up with something that works. I need help. What can you recommend for dry hair, frizzy hair, dandruff and an itchy scalp?
No. 136695
>>136677silicone isn't softening your hair, it's just making a smooth coating on top of it. it's all the silicone that has prevented your hair from soaking moisture in, and now that you've stopped covering the dryness up with said coating, it's beginning to show.
you need to moisturize and hydrate. if you have thick-ish hair, avocado oil will work wonders for you. deep condition with a hot towel, or just apply it all over your scalp and massage for a few minutes. let it rest for around an hour or less, wash off cleanly. maybe leave a FEW drops in your hair post-wash (apply while hair is damp), it's a great way to deal with post wash dryness.
also, you need to condition religiously as well. try to deep condition once 10 days at least. figure out a good cheap conditioner without silicone and apply loads whenever you wash, leave it on for at least 10 mins. the silicone-free ones that pantene has work well for me.
if your scalp is itchy and dandruffy even after moisturizing, something else may be causing it. check if you need to replace your pillowcases more often, or just get a new pillow if yours is too old.
hang in there, you'll be fine. keep moisturizing!

>>136695>>136705Thanks for your advice! I bought the Head&Shoulders Itchy Scalp Care (I think that's the English name, had to google it) shampoo yesterday, before I posted here. I might try it out for at least two weeks, if it works I'll go silicone and sulfate free again when the dandruff has cleared up. I'll also try some egg yolk, avocado oil (I'll start off with coconut oil, because I'm actually too broke to buy avocado oil rn) and applecider vinegar.
I really hope my pillowcases have nothing to do with it. I change them every other week, maybe I should do it weekly? Anyway, wish me luck, I'm gonna wash my hair with Head&Shoulders tomorrow for the first time in 10 years or something.
No. 136732
>>136720also nta but the advice i've heard usually is to lay a napkin or something on your pillow which you can wash daily/every other day/twice a week depending on how quickly it gets grody. for me a week is good enough though in the summer months i'll use the towel thing sometimes
towels/napkins are not great for the hair though, so it's better to use a silk/satin pillowcase you can wash often

>>136829Just go low-poo (=washing without sulfates/silicones/parabens)
Once you remove those ingredients, you've removed to core of the problem of commercial shampoos while not having to deal with the hassle that is no-poo at (imo) no read additional benefits. It's just a hassle having to deal with the transition period, washing it with baking soda/apple cider vinegar and build up from hard water that comes from no-poo. There's only something to be said for no-poo when you're after less waste in terms of (plastic) packaging and/or minimalism.

This is probably dumb, but I've been curious about it for a while. I have medium/dark brown hair like on the right and I want to dye it blonde. I had a consultation with a stylist a few months ago and she told me it would be impossible to go blonde like how the left picture looks. She said my hair is too dark, there's too much red/auburn, and that it would completely fry my hair. I had another stylist tell me something similar, but offered to do "blonde streaks," which just sounds awful.
Is this total bullshit? I realize bleach is damaging, but can't the damage be mitigated with regular trims/deep conditioning masks?

>>136873I did think that's what she meant at first, but no, she said I would never be able to achieve the blonde I want because my hair is too dark/has too much red tones and the process would be too damaging to make it not orange. I was definitely expecting it to take a few sessions. I showed her something like this pic as a reference, because I figured ombre roots would need less upkeep. It surprised me because this was at a high end salon known for their coloring, but I have had other stylists tell me something similar before.
Thanks for the replies, anons. I'll probably try another salon in the future.

>>137135>the aura is totally differentMy hair is as long as hers and I totally agree! It's like an accessory on its on, if your hair is short you might feel as if there's something missing without a necklace or something on top of your normal shirt. Sometimes I feel like shit because of my face or something on my body but at least I always have my long flowing hair lol It can save a mediocre face but for short hair you need to be very pretty. I sometimes think of cutting it off but whenever I did in the past (I went from bob to waist length 3 times already) I instantly regret it and vow to grow it again. Plus, when you were a little girl, didn't you want to have long princess or model hair? It's basically like living your childhood dream lol
I also don't understand why people claim it's so much work. My shampoo is cheap, I never use masks, sometimes even skip conditioner if I'm feeling particularly lazy, just staying away from heat (besides blowdrying if the weather is cold) and getting a trim twice a year is absolutely enough to not get split ends. Usually women with short hair have to style it more to look good, I always had to straighten mine, but since it's that long it just sorts itself out.
>>137143Imo very long hair is a teen/young woman thing. Many cut their hair shorter once they get children and by the time they hit their 40s/50s many women have completely short hair because they think long hair no longer suits them or is inappropriate (which is bullshit).

Has anyone cut their bangs themselves and what did you think of them? I’m getting really sick of my hair and want to cut bangs but I’m scared that it’ll cause a lot of inconvenience in summer and that I’ll hate it. pic is the kind of bangs I want,
No. 138557
>>138549I cut my own bangs like that 5 years ago, same length with longer sides to frame my cheeks. If you have a round face, I reccomend keeping the parts closest to your temple a little longer than your bangs.
I was worried about how they would look/feel but now it's my default bang. My advice, don't cut them short immediately. Work your way up slowly until you're happy with the length. If you have thin hair, make sure to bring more hair from the back to the front or else you'll have stringy transparent bangs.
There is plenty youtube tutorials as well.
In the summer, those bangs look really cute pinned to the side or parted in the middle. It keeps your forehead dry and cools you down.

I was looking into Serene Scalp Exfoliating Scrub from Oribe (pic related), but it looks like this has plastic beads in it. Does anyone have suggestions for a similar product? "Reveal the secret to a healthy scalp. This powerful scrub gently polishes scalp with exfoliating beads to remove oil, dirt and product buildup while a blend of alpha hydroxy acids and fruit extracts cleanses pores and nourishes hair. Scalp is left primed and deeply purified."
I have wavy/curly hair and I'm trying to cut back on how often I wash it, so I was thinking a product like this would be a good shampoo replacement.

quarantine has me itching to chop my long hair into a bob or something shorter… i'm trying to resist but honestly it's been a long time coming. I have a nice hair type for long hair (natural wavy/ sorta loose ringlet curls if I dry it correctly) and it helps slim my perpetual babyface, but I literally almost never wear it down anymore except when I go out and I never go out (even pre-lockdown) and I'm sick of all the shedding and detangling. it also grows back pretty fast if I take care of dead ends so if I hate it it won't take more than a year to get it longish again. I'm hesitant to go through with it though because last time I had short/mid length hair it was SO unflattering especially when I'd see myself in candids, but I was also a little chubbier back then and maybe now that I'm in shape I'll pull it off better? Or if it still makes me look like shit maybe it'll motivate me to stay in shape lol. if I layer it correctly I can still frame my face with it, but idk.
Anyone who's had both lengths think that shorter hair is worth it/ more manageable? I do remember getting ready way faster and liking that lightweight feeling on my head, and summer's coming up. too many pros and cons on both sides for me so I might just settle with giving myself baby bangs to soothe the impulse for now

Does anyone else have issues with a subtle scalp odor? I shower each night, but in the afternoon if I touch my scalp, sometimes my fingers smell a little bit. I've asked many people (family, hairdressers) if my hair or scalp smells, and they always say no. But I can smell it. It smells really faintly like feet, kind of.
Nothing I've tried works. I've tried clarifying shampoo, washing my hair every day, washing my hair every other day, using conditioner, not using conditioner, washing my pillowcases frequently, using different detergents, avoiding hats, etc. The smell is fainter, but it never went away. I've gone through countless brands of shampoo and conditioner. I asked my dermatologist if I had a scalp fungus and he said no. I have somewhat oily skin, but it's not that bad.

I recommend trying a digital perm or rebonding treatmenat at your nearest korean, chinese or japanese salon. First check online for reviews that share a similar hair type and condition as you to check it wont be too damaging. I have fine, bleached,generic caucasian hair and digital perm on the hair ends + japanese straightening on my roots has added permanent volume and bouncy waves. I ofc have to get the treatment done 1-2 times a year, but the cost ends up not being that much since I never have to style my hair anymore - just air dry and it basically styles itself.

i want to dye my hair pastel pink so badly but im not sure what shade is right for me. im a medium beige with warm undertones. im bummed out cause almost all the results i see for girls with pink hair are super fair girls that obviously look gorgeous. but im a little darker and im afraid of not picking the right color. i just have to face the fact im never going to be pale and need the right shade of pastel pink.
ive been wanting to dye my hair pastel pink since 2010 but never had the guts to do it. ended up going with a magenta that pulled kinda red and everyone thought i was a redhead with a shitty stylist. not what i wanted. pastel pink has been my dream since 10 years ago and im finally going to do it and dont know how

Section off the hair above where you want your ponytail to end up and tie that up in a half pony
You can tie the rest of your hair in a second ponytail below the first one for extra length and volume, or pull all your hair into a single ponytail. The second hairtie should go over the first, you can use a scrunchie to hide the double hairtie if it's too visible.

>>140145I get headaches from putting my hair up too, maybe our hair is just heavy… have you tried these coil hair bands? They're by far the most comfortable and if I wear the ponytail right at the top of my head it doesn't bother me.
Also, this is a weird option but sometimes I do a loose upside down braid, like you tip your head over and start braiding from the back of your neck. Most people who do an upside down braid tie the ends into a ponytail or bun, but if you just continue braiding right to the end and let it flop backwards there's nearly no pressure on your head at all. It's really comfy but looks ridiculous, like a braid mohawk so you can't really wear it outside.

>>138549I've had bangs all my life, one thing I'll say is that you might have a problem with it looking greasy very fast depending on how oily your skin is (since it's touching your forehead a lot).
You might feel a bit irritated with something suddenly on your face but the feeling should pass. Don't feel like your bangs have to be a certain way because the wind will naturally tousle it around and sometimes you just have to roll with that, it won't ever stay in the one position you want it to, in case you wanted a specific look like in that photo
>>122789So since I made this post I've seen 1 derm who prescribed me iron tablets because my levels were on the low end and a biopsy which came back with nothing unusual. I also started Regaine. Things tailed off from there and I feel like nothing conclusive really happened, the derm did hint about lifestyle changes (because I'm chronically depressed since I was a teen) which is… ugh. I don't know what I was expecting from that biopsy. I'm still shedding extremely small hairs and some of the ones coming out aren't even a foot long and I feel my hair line is creeping upwards. The blood test did find that I had very high T levels for a woman so idek maybe I'm fucked and it's female pattern balding from sheer bad luck. Not even sure if the Regaine does much or if it's causing this new bout of shedding but the stuff in it makes my scalp and forehead irritated to the point where she asked if I had a history of psoriasis.

I assume you're a type 1 or 2, so idk, maybe you just don't see it because you're too focused on it? I guess it would take 4 years or so to get your hair back to your hip lenght

>>140743I think you should expand your search to some small local producers, especially if you're seeking a specific natural ingredient. Caltha definitely has something with burdock, but there might me some more small producers working with this ingredient, online shopping is your best friend when it comes to this kind of stuff.
>it seems like as if they rebranded this shampoo into the one for colored hair as far as I knowIt could just as well be the exact same thing. What makes the shampoo color-protective is actually the fact it's ingredients are not as powerful as non-color-protective shampoos which can be a very good thing because most of the time your hair doesn't need ingredients as strong as all-purpose shampoos have.
Actually if you're not too scared about hair care rabbitholes, something I would really recommend is learning more about your hair porosity and protein-moisture balance (also referred to as PEH balance) to select exactly what your hair needs, as custom-selected care is the best care, but it's a loooot of reading ingredients list so can be a bit overwhelming. Still, seeing the results of people who commit to it, it really works wonders. (girl on the pic attached used henna for color, but in general hair quality improvement is undeniable)

>>140874Yeah, idk why theres nothing more prominent in english-speaking internet, I'm finding a loooot of sources in my native language, and majority of people in my country have straight / wavy hair, so there's a lot of resources about these, yet english speaking internet is focusing on curls, probably because this is a very good method to strenghten the curl? But there are a lot of benefits for straight hair as well.
When it comes to porosity, best method to evaluate it would be putting one hair strand to a glass of water, if it floats it's low porosity, it it sinks completely is high porosity. As for protein - moisture balance it's a bit of guessing looking on how your hair reacts to different hair products because overuse of proteins and overuse of humectants can give very similarly looking results.

>>140925For low porosity best would be saturated oils since you're not as concerned with fixing as much as with protecting it. So stuff like sweet almond, coconut, avocado, jojoba, shea butter, list goes on, you'd have to find what fits you best. Easiest way to use oils is to mix them (just a little bit, about teaspoon for starters) with mask/conditioner for around 30 minutes after washing; because there's less risk you'll put too much, also easier to wash the excess off. Should start around ear level and go down, because putting it on the skin could cause unnecessary heaviness. And in general with your hair type, avoid any product with silicates - they're common in most popular brands because majority of people would have higher porosity where silicates do help, for you it will just make your hair look heavier and flatter.

"Schwarzkopf igora vibrance", in 1.0 mixed with 3.65. Then go 1:1 with the matching activator lotion. Using these allows me to have a natural black with a golden undertone in the light, as I think a jet black is too dull.
>>141152greys and ash colors are the hardest to perfectly achieve in salons let alone at home and most box dyes in supermarkets are aimed at millions of women… its hard to get specific colors on your hair when the ones buying it are usually Karens just trying to cover their greys.
The problem is Anon youre saying you want a ash brown but in that pic I see a level 7 blonde, toned to remove warmth. I matched the pic with the levels chart and added blue tone on the right side to show you what I mean.
Red pigment is essential in brown dyes, and it clings on longest, thats why youre seeing the red undertone you dislike, buying a brown box dye will almost guarantee brassiness over time. For grey tones, the final result is heavily dependent on the starting hair color and your hair history too.
What I'd do, is get my hair lightened to level 6 or 7 dark blonde at a salon and afterwards apply a blue/green toning treatment.

A clump of my hair came out. I've always been a bit of a shedder but it never seemed to be getting thinner because of it. Then one day I was washing my hair as normal and it… didn't feel like it got clean? Thought it was weird cuz I hadn't waited extra long between washes or anything, but whatever I'll wash again maybe I was just oilier than I realized. Then as I was rinsing out the second wash, I noticed hair sticking to my hands. More than usual. And stuck to my arms. And more kept coming out the more I touched it, so I started putting it on the edge of the tub, and by the time I finished showering I had a handful sized ball on the shelf.
I guess I'm not really asking for advice because I'm already taking steps to address the issue (various vitamins, reassessing diet, minoxidil, nizoral…) and know that with everything going on it's probably actually just stress, but I'm so depressed about it that I'm hoping for some reassurance at least. I'm not normally a crier but I cried about it for like three days back to back and now want to cry every time I shower. I feel so ugly. I'm afraid to even touch it anymore, which is awful because I normally get regular compliments on my hair. I do all the "right" things, I use shampoo without sulfates and parabens and all those things, don't pull it back super tight, use the microfiber towels and a Wet brush, but still.
BF can tell I'm really deeply unhappy about it and is trying to console me, but it doesn't really help. I had him look over my scalp and he said there's no blatant patch where it came from, but there's one section that seems thinner than the rest and somehow that made me feel even worse.
